Why do people think the best way to lose weight is not eating?

[APRU5]

They dont want to put in the work to excersize so the hurt their bodies by not eating.

I would say, 50% excersize, 50% diet. But it needs to be a hard workout.

[Errhh]

To lose weight on change anything in your body is to change the way you eat.

I do agree with you that "not eating" is the bad way to go... But exercising will not help if you do not change your diet. Your diet MUST change and usually at also means eating LESS... And eatng less does not mean eating nothing... Simply less.

Exercise is good, and will help you get faster results along with eating properly... But really, exercise alone will not do much of a difference... While eating right, CAN do a big difference even without exercise...

Because a lot of people who are fit say "diet matters a shitload more than exercise." They say dieting is hoe you lose weight, and exercise helps, but exercise alone won't let you lose weight very easily... idj

[Errhh]

Exactly!! But just because eating is far more important than exercise in reference to how your body looks, it does "Not" mean you shouldn't eat... Diet is important really means "watch what you eat!!" Anything with a lot of sugar is far worse than something with a lot of fat. ... simply because sugar turns into fat once it's consumed by your body.

Yeah honestly you can only lose so much through vigorous exercise. Say you burn 500 in a run. Well a Starbucks drink would take up more then half those calories burnt. So ya got to watch the calories too. 70% diet and 30% exercise. Unless you're a professional athlete with all the time to workout lol.

Some people think the only problem with gaining weight is the food so they try to eliminate the problem by not eating any. Sometimes they're not educated enough to know that's doing more damage to their body but some people just become obsessed and don't want to put the consequences into perspective.

Because food makes you put on weight, so their fear is that, however starving yourself will put on more weight when you eat a little because it will put your body into starvation mode.. basically nurture your body and it'll reward you.

Because that's what the diet industry has told us since we were born and I hate it. Just eat HCLFV and eat as much as you want and still lose weight.
